Emissions measuring hardware trial

A two-pronged approach of engineering collaboration and a US$1.6 million capital seed round has been deployed by the eight companies involved to hasten the implementation of Everimpact’s hardware.

“Accelerating the engineering of Everimpact’s hardware to measure physical carbon emissions on vessels will solve one of the shipping’s most overdue challenges,” said Mathieu Carlier, founder and chief executive at Everimpact.

“Complexities – like cost of hardware, extreme temperatures in exhaust stacks and weather conditions – have prevented others from cracking the code but by joining hands with maritime’s most influential through our engineering collaboration and seed raise, we really have the best opportunity to see market adoption,” he added.

CO2 emissions in maritime are currently measured using calculations predicated on assumptions or visual analysis of smoke coming out of exhaust stacks. Everimpact’s hardware will display real-time actual CO2 data captured by IoT sensors installed on the exhaust stack of ships and will give vessel owners visibility on ways to optimise ship operations.

Already trialled in eight cities across Europe, Everimpact’s hardware will now be installed on a select number of ships owned by Mitsubishi Corporation in order to validate the system before commercialisation at scale.
